About this episode
We live in an age that prides itself on its casual approach to everything, which is another way of saying we live in an age that has contempt for everything. Our dress is casual, our language is casual, our worship is casual, and our theology is casual. We think this makes us authentic, but what it really does is make us slobs. If you doubt this, I invite you to consider the iridescent feathers of a peacock, the intricate geometry of a snowflake, or the staggering detail of the passage before us today. We are in the final chapters of Exodus, where the instructions for the Tabernacle, given by God on the mountain, are now being carried out by the people in the valley. And what we find is not a breezy summary. He cares about the color, the cut, and the craftsmanship.
